Four Out Of Five is one of the songs from the latest release by the British band Arctic Monkeys. The album's name, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, is a tribute to the Apollo 11 landing site that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin dubbed the Tranquility Base.

The music video for Four Out Of Five was directed by Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown and shows the hotel-casino project that the band is building on the moon, in which other songs from the album are developed. It was released on May 13, 2018, and was shot in locations as different as Castle Howard in Yorkshire, the band's hometown, or the Marienplatz underground in Munich.
For the creation of the video for Artic Monkeys, as Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown comment, they wanted to be inspired by the style of Stanley Kubrick's feature films, showing the contrast between the baroque architecture of Castle Howard and the dystopian vision of space offered by the tunnels of the Munich subway.

The lyrics of Four Out Of Five are a simile to the promotion that the company that created the hotel-casino on the moon would carry out, and the video shows the band's vocalist, Alex Turner, reviewing the project through some plans and models of the hotel, as well as manipulating what appears to be some promotional videos of the company. Besides, the song mentions that the earth is gentrifying after the exodus to the moon, so that it is a comparison and criticism of the gentrification that is taking place in urban centers, forcing many citizens to migrate to the suburbs of the periphery.

Advertise in imaginative ways
Start your free trial today
Come on in, the water's lovely
Look, you could meet someone you like
During the meteor strike
It is that easy
Lunar surface on a Saturday night
Dressed up in silver and white
With coloured old grey whistle test lights

Take it easy for a little while
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
Since the exodus it's all getting gentrified
I put a taqueria on the roof
It was well reviewed
Four stars out of five
And that's unheard of

I'm Mr. Bridge and Tunnel on the Starlight Express
The head of special effects in my mind's eye
Okey cokey with the opposite sex
The things you try to forget
Doesn't time fly?
I'm in no position to give advice
I don't want to be nice
And you know that

Take it easy for a little while
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep popping up
Around Clavius
It's all getting gentrified
The information action ratio
Is the place to go
And you will not recognize
The old headquarters

All the nights that never happened
And the days that don't exist
At the information action ratio
Only time that we stop laughing
Is to breathe or steal a kiss
I can get you on the list for all the clubs
I can lift you up another semitone

Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
(Cute new places keep on popping up)
Since the exodus, it's all getting gentrified
The information action ratio
(The information action ratio) is the place to go
Four stars out of five

Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Now, it's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
(Cute new places keep on popping up)
Around Clavius, it's all getting gentrified
I put a taqueria on the moon
(The information action ratio)
It got rave reviews
Four stars out of five

Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
(Four stars out of five)
(Take it easy for a little while)
Four stars out of five
